London Overground posters at Watford Junction, 12/11/2007 (MR)

Confusing? Two sets of posters showing timetables for the Watford DC route - one branded London Overground, the other Silverlink! (MR)

Doesn't look much different! Now in service to London Midland the only visible difference for 321421 is the removal of the Silverlink logo & name (MR)

321421 at Berkamsted on the London Midland service to Euston, 12/11/2007 (MR)

Apparently still Silverlink Trains but in fact now London Midland, 321427 still carries branding for the former operator on 12/11 at Berkhamsted (MR)

321436 also still thinks its Silverlink County - name and logo have yet to be removed when seen on 12/11/2007 at Berkhamsted (MR)

On 12 November, Silverlink posters were still much in evidence as seen here at Berkhamsted (MR)

The 'Silverlink Trains' wording has been blanked out on the station name board at Berkhamsted as seen on 12/11/2007 (MR)
